Fencing practice

[lumineaux]

Two weeks in a row. One might almost think I am a fencer. I wish we had the site for longer. Just as I am getting really warmed up and ready to roll, it's time to pack it in.

New guy was hitting me with . . . enthusiasm. He assumed I was wearing a plastic chest protector. I don't wear one. The bruises will be very pretty. I suppose I should reconsider investing in one to wear when teaching, but (a) I hate using them as a crutch; pain is incentive to parry; and (b) they didn't used to make them in cup sizes small enough. I think constructing a set of padded armor (such as I used to wear when teaching on a regular basis) will have to do.

I think I have somewhere a padded thing that covers right should and comes to cover the chest somewhere. Want me to look for it and bring it Sunday if I find it?

Since you seem to have so little free time - would a baseball umpire's plastron work for you?

My interpretation of the situation is that the new guy needs to change, not your armor.

I'd be glad to go down there, thunk him in the nipple, then say, "oh gosh, I assumed you were wearing a breast protector."

But I'm cynical and mean.

He's new. He's learning. You can't discourage him from hitting you. Taking lumps from new guys is one of the unfortunate side effects of teaching fencing.

Good for you on getting there. I am having troubles getting motivated. :)

playing too much with heraldry sister?
I found us another client yesterday :)

Not too much, although I read up on slot-machine heraldry... again. For no reason other than I like the phrase.

So I need to use it to entertain you: I'm sure it's even more amusing with the accent
Think I got us another client today, who had read about the Sisterhood on my LJ :D
